COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONOnly available bottle conditioned.
Production moved from Youngs to Wells and Youngs in 2007. Brand acquired solely by Charles Wells in 2011.
Ingredients: English Lager malt with Styrian hops.
Champion is an unpasteurised, living beer, matured in the bottle for a fuller, more complex, multi-dimensional, fresher taste. With no artificial carbonation, the only fizz is the natural effervescence created by fermentation.

light color, almost a belgian blond. Beatiful aroma's, and a very refreshing taste. There is a big difference in the beer with or without the yeastdepot.
I prefer to drink it without, because the aroma's were more in balance then.

A bottled conditioned beer that, for me, really hit the jack pot.
A light appearance and a
pleasant citrus first taste give an indication of what to expect.As you sip your mouth is bombarded with fruit,hops and a slight bitterness.Aftertaste is lingering and extremly pleasant. It resembles a cross between a top class German lager and a well rounded British bitter.Some would describe this as heaven. In my mind this is a top class beer.

Pours fine, with a pale gold colour, head is white and frothy but dies VERY quickly, good steady bead of bubbles tho’ shame they cant maintain a head. Wonderful heady,hoppy aroma cant fault that. Palate bursts with flavour..fresh and fruity, with malt in the background..pleased with this,as I was very disappointed with Waggledance..Youngs are back in my ratings again,shame about the head tho’

Pours a lightly cloudy med. golden with thick white head. Aroma is grassy, spicy, and earthy. Just a ton of hops. The body is med. with heavy CO2. The flavors are intensely hoppy. More hop forward than any other beer I have had in Britain. Flavors of orange zest, black pepper and earthiness with a light malt quality. Finish is highly bitter. Very BoPils-like. I like it a lot!
